Sustainability and funding insights
Coventry was selected as one of 75 local authorities to receive investment from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Education to transform, expand, and enhance Coventry’s services in line with the national Family Hub and Start for Life framework.
A total of £4,433,849 has been allocated over the three years.
- 2022/23 - £1,195,124
- 2023/24 - £1,775, 025
- 2024/25 - £1,463, 700
In addition to this investment, Coventry’s Family Hubs receive support from Coventry City Council’s Children’s Services funding and a Public Health Grant.
An annual delivery plan was activated across the partnership and approved by the regional delivery leads within the national departments, and the Family Hub programme board. The programme guide and grant agreement require the funding to be distributed across seven programme strands.
Funding has been provided to a range of services across the Family Hub partnership to enhance staffing, provide workforce development opportunities and bring new resources and interventions into the Family Hub and Start for Life Offer.
